~Osgood Public Library ~Safe Child Policy

The Osgood Public Library encourages children to come to the library and explore the resources that the library has to offer. We want children to be safe and secure while visiting the Library. As a result of our concern, we require that children under ten (10) years old be supervised by a parent or caregiver fourteen (14) years of age or older.

Adults attending a meeting or library program must make arrangements for the supervision of their children.

Library staff will attempt to contact the parent or guardian of any unattended child under ten (10) years old left at the Library or on Library property. The local police department or Child Protective Services may be called any time the safety or security of an unattended child is threatened in the Library or on Library property.

Staff will contact the police any time that a child under fourteen (14) years old is left at the Library after closing. Library staff will stay with any unattended child until the police arrive to deal with the situation.
